6 Bridges Douro River Cruise with Port Cellar Tour

A very enjoyable cruise, an interesting tour of the winery, and a generous tasting. Please note that the boarding location isn't clearly indicated in the email you receive, and don't forget to ask for your ticket for the winery tour.

To start with, the boarding point was much closer to the Dom Luís I Bridge than what was listed in the brochure: it was the DouroAzul company. The cruise was pleasant. If it’s sunny, you don’t really feel the heat, so watch out for sunburn and remember to bring sunscreen! The only downside to the cruise was the audio guide commentary, which had some glitches. But the recordings were well-suited and very short! We were able to enjoy the scenery. As for the tour of the winery, you should book a time slot in your preferred language (French, English, etc.) in advance if possible. But if you haven’t done so—which was our case—there was space available when we arrived for the next time slot. The winery is located right at the exit of the pedestrian bridge, on the lower level, to the left, on the Vila Nova de Gaia side. The guide was fantastic. He explained everything to us about the production of Port wines, their appellations, the different types, and the local customs and traditions. This cruise and winery tour package is a great way to spend two hours and explore the area!

Views were excellent. But what we missed was the audio, nobody explained how to get it. Boarding point map was unclear. Wine cellar tour was perfect!

Except that the meeting point is described incorrectly, everything is great! The meeting point is almost at the far right of the harbor, not in the middle where the big ships are docked.

The cruise is just enough to see the beauty of Duro river, perfect for less than 24 hrs sightseeing option, the wine tasting that comes with the tour is awsome too.
